CN Tower: Ice falls from Toronto landmark, police investigating

Toronto Police are on site speaking with engineers following reports that ice fell from a building believed to be the CN Tower.

Police received the call at 11:30 a.m. and have said there are currently no reports of injuries or damage. They are now trying to determine exactly where the ice is falling from and what safety measures will have to be taken.

“Potentially, it could be life threatening if it struck somebody,” said Constable Wendy Drummond. “Falling from that height, the potential for injury is there.”

In a statement released by the CN Tower, a spokesperson said the falling ice was actually packed snow. It also said that the tower uses a heating cable system on all exterior horizontal surfaces that can melt any potential ice.
